None. Please do all within you to ensure that you don't have any sex partner that is not married to you. Don't mind what anybody tells you,its wrong in every ramification.
People might tell you otherwise,some might even critisize me for this advice but I have daughters and I would tell them the same thing am telling you. Its morally and spiritually wrong,besides you are making yourself a candidate of STDs and unwanted pregnancies(which leads to abortion which many later in life are still struggling with its consequences).
Please,keep none. Any man that really values you that much will want to keep you forever,not for a few nights but it starts with you placing value on yourself.

Obiano is really rubbing it into the faces of corrupt governors like Rochas, Rauf etc. Maybe we will vote for APGA henceforth. Afterall,Rauf was said to be a template of APC's 'good governance'.

herald9:
... And later, god will still throw Satan into this same hell.... Who will torment who?

These people could really make some cash in religious comedy.

In as much as you are trying to make fun but you are both theologically right.
Satan is indirectly working God's plan. Let me explain in the 'layest' way possible.
When a man gives up his protection as a child of God,he goes outside this cover and if he dies in it, the devil and his demons resident in hell(hades or sheol) take over the torment,making the person regret leaving that cover.
There has been real life accounts of people who have had the grace to witness this and return back to share it but I don't expect you to believe them cos it was even written in the bible that if you do not believe the messages in the bible,you still will not believe even a dead man that came back to life.
The bible says that the things of God are like foolishness to those who are perishing and I can see you guys clearly depicting that. But I pray that you will not perish. Infact most men who have done greater ridicule of God's word are today the great servants of God.

Thanks dear, we'll survive it. He is not GOD and therefore cannot determine what happens to Ndi Imo.

Imo is in God's hand

But why didn't you people vote him out when you had the chance at the last election?

Bugatie:
Igbos must not be seen with cap in hand begging for positions in this administration.

Maintain an indifference/opposition stance and see how the govt of the day will start lobbying them with appointments

This is my stand too. They should just stay in opposition and when 2019 elections come,they'll be the zone every party will like to court.

This is a fabricated story. I heard it many years ago but then it was as a joke. I guess someone has arranged it to have a true life story colouration.

But for anyone who finds herself in this;don't do it cos it will never stop. If you sleep your way into a job,you'll sleep your way to earn a promotion,when there's impending sack,you'll start donating your body to retain your job. And sadly,when the boss you've been sleeping with leaves,insecurity will push you to continue with the new boss even when you are married.
Many ladies in the corporate world who found themselves in this cycle get fed up and quit the job to save their marriage but there are still many in there today stuck in this cycle,hoping to come out but can't cos quitting it might see them lose out after being used for so long by 'ogas at the top'.
So don't even start. The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrows.

They gave President Buhari an idol to take back to his land and worship.

Very soon,Tinubu's wife will receive suspension from that senate. Her excesses are growing by the day. This power is gradually eroding her sense of judgement. See how power has turned a once meek christian woman into a tout.

In all fairness,there's no state in Nigeria that receives monthly allocation that can not effectively pay their worker's salary but the problem is the high level of greed and corruption by their governors. It simply means that Obiano is not as corrupt as the others that have stolen deep into their worker's wage.
As Fmr Governor Sullivan of enugu once said in private "any governor who still dips his hands to steal from the state allocation after freely having the security vote is an incurable criminal".
Logically,the higher the number of months owed its workers by a governor,the more criminal the governor.
Any governor whose workers are being owed months of salary but has been receiving monthly allocation from the federation account should be arrested for fraud,embezzlement and financial crime.
As for Rochas,he did not only sleep while his workers were going on strike,he did it in white house while a meeting with the two presidents were going on.

imsuboi:
BeremX, come & defend your paymaster. Illiterate -_-

She can't come as she's presently on strike due to the non payment of her salary by her paymaster

mandax:
Berem and Abagworo must 'be owed salary arrears also. They no longer post deceptive comments and photos to defend Rochas Okorocha.

Abagworo has issued a very lame excuse of an official response on my post/thread. Go to my post(A call to the good people of Imo state) and read his poor response. Very sad excuse.

graciandubuisi:
Bros how u take know? His inlaw is doing a good job for him. During the incident at assumpta cathedral, youths were give 2k to do what they did sponsored by the inlaw. Go secretariat and see mopol everywhere. Trust workers, we relax at home, at least go farm before the rain go waka. God save us

Commissioner Uche Nwosu. That's his portfolio. Mobilize youths at the shortest possible timeframe.

FUTYGUY:
Wicked man. Just watch his rented crowd of so unemployed youth (IMO) on STV, saying the striking workers can resign there employment so that the can be employed.

That's what he's good at doing. He has boys that can mobilize over 100 'youths' in less than an hours. All it costs is just N2k each,a free bus to convey to and fro.

The people of Imo state has always been a very prayerful christian state. Their trust and belief in God is second to none. The former governor of the state realized this the bitter way when he raised his 'hands' (though with a cane in it) against a reverend father. That singular action nailed the coffin of his possible re-election. The people rose in groups to call upon God of heaven and earth to intervene and He did.
They have never relegated or trivalized the importance of prayer in the face of impending threat or hostility.

On Monday 27th of July,2015,the Imo state labour unions directed all workers to proceed on a strike action to press home the demand for their salaries. Note: They are not demanding for improved working conditions or increased wages but their salaries which they have worked for and thus entitled to. While this was going on,the state governor rightly called Emperor Rochas Okorocha was fast asleep in the White House while a meeting was going on between the Presidents of the USA and Nigeria. He was only awake to snap with Presidents Obama which he had blessed the streets of owerri with its billboard. Ofcourse,he has come out to deny having a hand in the billboard after it has generated the massive negative publicity.

On his return to the state,one would expect that he will set in motion a process of paying these workers and probably plead with tthem,but instead in his typical characteristics,he politicized the strike action.
First,any reasonable and compassionate leader would have resorted to appealing with the striking workers at a round-table meeting,but no,not the Emperor,he who is the president-in-waiting,governor general of the south east,saviour of Imo state, Local government administrator and the traditional ruler of every autonomous and 'unautonomous' community,Lord of the manor,He who owns all that is within the state and gives to whosoever he willeth(salary inclusive). There is no man worthy of his plea. Anyway,he tactically avoided that because he knew he had since emptied his 'trust bank'. He had made several promises to the workers and entered into several agreements but has always failed to keep his own end once they shelve their planned strike action. Hence, the name '419 governor'. He is a man who has never been known to keep his word. Holding Governor Okorocha to his promise is doing so at your own peril. Those who had done so have lived (or died)to regret it. Ask the Imo state contractors.

The first thing the governor did was to 'mobilize' a group of youths to pay him a solidarity visit. This is to create a false impression to the media that the people are behind him.
The next thing was to attribute the strike to the handiwork of political opponents and classifying the strike as 'politically motivated'. One would want to ask if the hardworking workers of Imo state would have indulged in this strike if he had paid them their salary which he had since received its allocation from the Federation account, if it was his political opponents that diverted the allocations to his personal use such as his many foreign accounts,the multi-billion naira villa he's building in mbieri(outskirts of owerri) etc. While his own son graduates in Manchester,he refuses to pay lecturers in his state.
And finally,he ends the meeting with his mobilized boys by sending a threat to the striking workers to resume work or get sacked. A governor who wonders why his civil servants should embark on a strike 'because of just months of unpaid salaries' while he flies around the world in private jets.

This is a time for the people to come out en-masse and cry for divine intervention. Let the religious bodies,civil societies,NGO's,Labour unions,pressure groups,market men and women,general public set aside days and nights for prayers and vigils for God to intervene urgently for if everybody prefer to fold their hands and wait till 2019;at the rate at which governance is going,there might be no structure to govern by then.

This is not about APC or PDP but against an impending decay that is eating up the state in the maladministration of a disillusioned egocentric man. Whenever the people put aside party interests and cry unto God in prayer,He intervenes. Let us beg God,its either He replaces this governor's heart of stone with a heart of flesh or He removes him by fire by force.

Wow!
Very typical of Rochas Okorocha,he plays politics with everything. Am not surprised by his actions. Instead of repatriating the funds he has stashed away abroad, what does he do? 1,He gets his 'boys' to mobilize some youths to pay him a solidarity visit to create a false impression to the public that the people are with him.
2,He accuses his political opponents of instigating the striking workers to go to strike. Please,did he pay them their salaries and dues and they refused to work?
The problem with this man is that he has entered a very strong spiritual sense falsehood that has made him believe that there is no greater or wiser person in the whole imo(and south-east) than him. Hence,he's never wrong.
How can you be owing family men and women many months of their salary for which you duely received allocation for and you have the impunity to question why they embarked on strike?!
I think the people of Imo should set aside a day to embark on a special prayer and night vigil for God to intervene in either the restoration of some brain and conscience in the head of this man. If his case has defied remedy,then they should ask God to remove the idiot by fire by force.

omoelesa:
If those appointment are not reverse within seven days, we the ibos are definitely going to war.Biafra must come by fire by force.

But you are yoruba,why are you pretending to be igbo to make imflammatory comments? Stop that nonsense,its too childish of you.

Kossyne:
He should better go and do something about his dead career than meddling in affairs that are beyond his comprehension

So because his career is dead,he doesn't have the right to call a wrong thing what it is, wrong?
Something is wrong with you though. I think you need help. Find one soon please.

dabosuker:
I just don't get it , if the name "Lucifer ", means bringer of "Light", how then is Lucifer a bad person or entity ? ...I thought "light", was & is a good thing,. Then what makes the bringer of Light BAD ? .. People I don't get it.
I was doing some research & I just discovered the meaning of Lucifer.

He was the chief angel that reflected the glory of God to the heavens and the earth,at his instance,the whole creation of God(including the angels) worshipped God. But after a while,he wanted that throne for himself,pride and arrogation of power consumed him and he led one-third of the angels to usurp God's throne but they failed.
That once glorious lucifer is now satan while those fallen angels are demons/evil spirits who have turned their anger on God's beloved(human) hoping to deceive,afflict and kill as many as they can till their appointed day of destruction.

Imo State Labour unions ignored appeals by Governor Rochas Okorocha’s for them not to embark on strike and directed all workers in the state to proceed on a warning strike from today, Monday July 27.

According to the statement signed and issued in Owerri yesterday by the state labour movements , all workers are to proceed on a warning strike from today to Friday July 31.

The statement was signed by chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, Dr Hycinth Emele; President of Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, Ambrose Onuoha; Chairman of Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Austin Chilakpu; Chairman of Joint Health Workers Union, JUHUSU, Nzenwata Francis; Secretary of NMA, Duruegwu Kyrian; Secretary of JUHUSU, Ikedi Onah; Secretary of NULGE, E. N. Iwuji, Chairman of the ANGNDP, Dr. D. C. Akaogwu and Assistant Secretary of ANGNDP, Dr. Emeka Okereke.

The NMA state chairman, Emele, who spoke yesterday in Owerri, disclosed that the association decision to join the labour movement on its strike move is as a result of governor Okorocha resolve to not recognize the association, while also regretting the unfriendly treatment meted by the state government on doctors in its payroll

“The governor has refused to recognize NMA and also, many of our medical doctor colleagues have not been paid their salaries,” Emele cried out.

According to Emele, “the governor had directed that workers in the 27 local councils be paid “one month half pay and cheque payment method instead of paying their full entitlement.

“Some workers are being owed five months while some are owned more, with retirees being killed by hunger due to non-payment of their pensions since the year began; and primary school teachers owed for upwards of 18 months and yet the governor directed the payment of one month half pay”.

Meanwhile, Governor Okorocha reacted by saying: “On my return from my trip abroad, on reaching Imo Airport, I learnt that my workers are trying to embark on strike, warning strike, which came to me by surprise. I want to appeal to workers in Imo State, especially those concerned to shun the idea of going on strike at this time we are trying to rebuild the entire state for good of our people and we did enter into agreement with them. I want to appeal to them to respect that agreement.

According to some of the striking workers, they have become tired of Governor Okorocha “promise and fail”.

Mr Emmanuel, a civil servant said; “He promised to pay us before in the agreement we reached with him. After that we heard nothing from him again. Now we’ve decided to go on strike and he has now remembered that we reached an agreement.

“Rochas Okorocha is a 419 governor”,  he concluded.

Let me get this straight, there are three men arrested for selling the arms. One was abu haruna, the other was simplified as solomon and the third who was the driver,an igbo guy(onuwa) and the Osun defenders mischeviously called them 'Igbo Traders'?
Wow! This level of bigotry aimed at tarnishing the image of a tribe is quite evil and demonic.
Meanwhile,I thought this happened almost 2years ago,how is it 'reselling' again.

The wailing wailers are putting pressure on the lying liars.

DehtahGeh:
I'm really sorry but I dont intend this coming across as tribalistic or prejudicial or some sort. It's been on my mind since and is a matter of urgency. It's based on my experience,funny enough,my only experience but reinforced by some women's similar stories and some people's general opinion. Why are Igbo men,especially the ones that grew up in the east,so stiff necked n rigid people Why do they see every women as a threat and someone to subdue at all cost even if she has posed no threat thus far? Why are they so insecure when it comes to a woman and always try to show their manliness even when it's unnecesssary? Why do they grow scared of a successful woman or a woman ahead of them generally and try to cover it up by acting all manly when it's unnecessary? Is it that their ego is more inflated than others? It's so bad that they start up a war/competition with their own woman! In the bid to satisfy their ego we become more than deflated but we lose ourselves and value. Does it have to do with their environment and past experiences that they've sworn to see everybody as an enemy and a threat that must be vanquished including women? Please any opinions or advice? Or am I the one getting it wrong? I've cancelled every possibility of ending up with an igbo man again.

My Dear,lemme give you a lil advice.
Any young igboman you meet that grew up in the east has a very strong homely orientation. They prefer a lady who is down to earth. By this I mean a lady who wouldn't be after showing off of vanity or living a fake life. Sadly,those are what is everywhere in Lagos.
They prefer ladies who has attachment to her family and roots. Not one that will prefer a "just you and I and nobody else" relationship.
They naturally get threatened by a girl who shows off an expensive lifestyle. They may well afford it a hundred times but they don't like you to showcase it. Let them dictate the pace. For eg,while most girls will want to rent a house in lekki and environs,a young igbo boy would prefer to buy land in mainland areas like satelite town,okota,amuwo,etc and build his own house than rent a house in lekki where he'll be 'dashing' a landlord over a N1.5million as rent.
Even if he can afford to take you to major shopping cities of the world for shopping,he'll want to see that you can feel at home with him at 'mama ubaka' joint and eat nkwobi or pepper soup.
Incidentally,most of these Lagos born and bred girls have lost touch with being real and thus keep finding it hard to connect with such youngmen.
In simple terms,come down to earth and be real

There were many which included Alex Ekwueme who led a G-34. That G-34 later became PDP and it was later hijacked by the same people who were dining with abacha producing an OBj/Atiku joint ticket.

Ofodirinwa:
While it may spark controversy like anything political, and so many seems steeply entrenched in the idea of support 'their guy' because at this point they have wagered too much of their pride into it, i would personally like to see Buhari allow business men to tour the world with him.

This has been the tradition on this continent for thousands of years, and must be continued by this continents leader because in recent times it has shown success. How can the world feel about a Nigeria that is the hottest economic topic of this decade having a government that seems to see business, commerce and partnership building as secondary to politics?

In the medieval era there was an empire in africa, reported to be the richest in the world and without question the richest and most powerful in the whole of west africa. It stood as the beacon for prosperity, islam, and balance in the entire subcontinent of west africa. When the world was unaware of it's greatest, it's most famous emperor took a pilgrimage to mecca that put his country on the maps and tongues of the entire globe. Read the following recollection of the journey through hundreds of cities and kingdoms on the way to Mecca.



Without question, Mansa Musa was ready to trade and used the gravity of his presence to advance the business, religious, scientific and political prestige of his kingdom. To further illustrate the duality of the purpose in his travel is the following..




Flash forward to today. In recent times, President Jonathan in his travels stocked his entourage with the best and the brightest that Nigeria has to offer in business. A fleet of billionaires that swept the nations of Kenya, South Africa, Germany and the US by storm as can be remembered below. The likes of Dangote, Elumelu, Adenuga, and more traveled with Jonathan and secured billions in trade deals. Their raising profile, aided by the governments partnership and friendship made them the talk of the world and from the Nigeria hosted the 2nd largest world trade conference in the history of man behind Davos, Switzerland. Bigger than the ones hosted by the UK, US, France, Japan and more.

Today we have people calling for the head of our central bank governor to roll because Jim Ovia went to the US at the same time as Buhari, while the likes of Tony Elumelu have to in-essence sneak in 'through the back door' by going to Kenya just to meet with President Obama. This is after hosting a bootcamp training 1000 african entrepreneurs and youths with no presence of mention of or from the president. PMB, I would like to personally see you follow in the footsteps of the African tradition and use your position as president to advance Nigeria as a dominate force in global business and trade.

May God bless you for this write-up. Infact, am thinking of doing a little write up themed "How not to attend a conference". Maybe I will take the time to carefully analyze this recent jamboree trip of buhari and friends viz-a-viz that of a purpose driven country like the asian tigers who usually set out with a set of clear political and economic targets from the host president/nation. And to achieve that,they arm themselves with the presence of their core local investors.
And sadly APC has turned everything into a party affair. When GEJ was in power,you will see a blend of technocrats,businessmen and politicians who cut across party divides. Some regular political faces that were usually seen in GEJ's economic trips included Peter Obi(APGA) of Anambra state, Fayemi(APC) of Ekiti and Godswill Akpabio(PDP). But today,the mentality of "its our turn to enjoy" of the APC is making them sacrifice effeciency on the altar of partisan politics. Some even used the opportunity to take their new brides on honeymoon to the white house on the tax payers' money.

I will stop here for now.

Buhari went to a world power and one of the biggest economies and he didn't take any businessman/investor like Jim ovia,Tony elumelu,Dangote, Otedola etc.
He didn't take the Likes of Ambode of Lagos who can atleast seek business opportunities for a major west african commercial city like Lagos.
Instead we saw the likes of Oshiomole's wife, Buhari's son, sleeping Rochas, amechi and everyother man who had no business being there!

If they ran him over,then they must have definetly damaged some internal organs or tissues.
Those VIO people normally use a patrol vehicle, please if there's any they left behind,let it be set ablaze instantly, that way its easy for their ogas at the top to identify and fish out the team that were assigned that patrol vehicle since they ran away.
I am always filled with anger and rage anytime some of these officials are respected because of their uniform but they mistake that respect for power and thus abuse it recklessly.
